1. A child-resistant container comprising:
(a) a container body having a base, a sidewall extending upward from the base, and a mouth; (b) a lid having a proximal portion mounted in pivotable relation to the container body by a hinge and a distal portion pivotable between a seated position, wherein the lid covers the mouth, and a raised position, wherein the mouth is at least in part exposed; and (c) a mechanism for restricting movement of the lid in its seated position, the mechanism comprising:
(i) at least one resilient tab having a proximal portion on one of the container body and the lid, a distal portion projecting from the proximal portion, an intermediate portion between the proximal and distal portions, an inside portion facing toward the container, an outside portion facing away from the container, and at least one proximally-facing first abutment on the distal portion;(ii) a second abutment on the other of the container body and the lid, the first abutment being normally biased into an engagement position with the second abutment of the container when the lid is seated, thus latching the lid closed, the inside portion of the resilient tab at its intermediate and distal portions being at least normally spaced from the container and the outside portion of the resilient tab being accessible to be pushed to bend the inside portion toward the container while the first abutment is in the engagement position to disengage the mechanism, allowing the distal portion of the lid to be pivoted about the hinge to open the container; and(iii) a shield on the container that at least partially blocks access to the resilient tab both above and below the engagement of the first abutment with the second abutment when the lid is in the seated position. |
